Advertising From The Air

It worries me the extent to which advertising is willing to invade our lives these days. Ubiquitous wall to wall advertising would seem to be the advertising industries greatest aim as we head for a bladerunner style landscape. Is there nothing that is sacred to advertisers?

I heard about Ad Air on the radio* last week and their plans to place football pitch sized advertising on land along the final approach path of landing aircraft in order to capture the gaze of those looking out of aircraft windows. Such moves do put me in mind of the late Bill Hicks‘ advice to those working in advertising (warning link has adult theme and language).

*AAC+ sound file. Quicktime, Songbird ,VLC (All Platforms) or Winamp (Windows only)player recommended.
